War in My Heart
There’s a terrorist wreaking havoc in my heart, though he’s gone today.
There’s a war, too close to home, yet it takes him so far away.
Drip, drop. Tears down my face, salty but bittersweet.
I kissed him yesterday but today he’s gone. The taste of his chocolate lips I won’t meet.
I said good-bye while tears stung my eyes, but I wouldn’t let him see me cry.
Although separated by an ocean, the war is at my door.
Sensō kono mune ni, I cannot take much more.
Flip, flop. My heart tosses around. How much emotional pain can one bear?
I held him yesterday but today he’s gone, the feel of his touch no longer there.
I said good-bye while tears stung my eyes, but I wouldn’t let him see me cry.
The same sky but two different lands: the distance is so real.
Sensō kono mune ni, the pain you cause me to feel.
Tic, tock: the sound of my mechanical heart slowly whirring down.
I loved him yesterday but today he’s gone. In fear he won’t return, I drown.
I said good-bye while tears stung my eyes, but I wouldn’t let him see me cry.
The pain of separation too strong to bear won’t set me free.
Sensō kono mune ni, please take this pain from me.
